skate journal: broomfield night struggles (dec 12, 2024)
After dinner on a cool night I took my new christmas complete to Broomfield. One dude was there when I got there but left. Then it was just Will and I for a while, another dude and Justin showed. So it was really nice how chill it was. Now if it only translated to good skateboarding for me. I was really sore, maybe overdid my workout earlier in the day. Anyway, I had zero pop. Only thing I was happy with were some slappy crooks, one front 50 180 on the blue lurb, front slashes on the bank to curb. I had a warm up run of front 50 the blue ledge, rock fakie, switch front nose, halfcab noseslide the black ledge, couldn’t do a simple noseslide to fakie on the bank to ledge. Doh. Struggled with front 50s on the black ledge even though I normally had the pop. Makes sense since I had a new setup. I had worn vulcs again, but changed them to 440s later on. Will rips them ledges. Front tails, back nosegrinds and some really good nollie noseslides. We closed on a game of SKATE in which he got me on fakie flip, halfcab flip and b/s flip. My freakin’ tricks! We played two games and we gave up on the second, I was in too much pain. I was really close to some nollie tres at least.
(setup 5/10 null 8.25 keyhole 2, null grip, ace 44 af1 hollow spanky, 52mm spitfire f4 99a, new balance numeric 574 vulc then 440v2 wide half insoles)
(pain level 7/10)
